Since we are on the topic of shoes, and since it is past my bedtime and I almost forgot to post. Here is a preview of a blog I intend to do on one of my peak racing experiences. The race was the Canadian masters cross-country championships in Guelph. The conditions were challenging with packed snow and ice and a rolling golf course in -8C temperatures. In case you were wondering what kind of shoes you wear for this type of race . . . viola!

You can see the full photo on the EXERTION tab of my blog.  If you click on the the caption you’ll hear the song that really was playing when I got to the finish, which was atop an extended hill.  WooHoo!
